"Jingwei, who do you think you are! How dare you be so rude to your empress!" Qiu Xin saw that Jingwei had forced her empress to such a degree, and hurriedly walked over to help Mei Fei, and raised her eyebrows at Jingwei. Chin, snorted with great disdain.
"You ask me what my identity is? I am the fifth-grade Jieyu who was canonized by the emperor himself. Do you know that?"
Jingwei didn't have any mood swings when Qiu Xin shouted at her. Instead, he looked at Qiu Xin very calmly and answered.
"You..." Qiu Xin didn't expect that Jingwei would answer her so calmly. She originally wanted to scare Jingwei by shouting, but she didn't expect to get such an answer from Jingwei. Her eyes were wide open. The boss looked at Jingwei in surprise.
Wei Qing looked at the stunned expressions of Qiu Xin and Mei Fei, and laughed. She was naturally beautiful, and with such a smile, she was even more captivating.
"What is your status? The personal maid next to a second-grade imperial concubine? Is it a very high grade? Song Mia, according to the palace etiquette, what grade and level are you? What etiquette should a Jingwei perform?"
Song Momo was the youngest child given by the Queen, so naturally he was not afraid of Concubine Mei. He listened to Jingwei's questions and answered.
"Back to the empress, she has no rank or rank. In terms of status, she is almost the same as an old slave. If you really want to care about me, when you see your empress, you will have to kneel down and worship her."
Song Momo's voice was low. Jingwei listened, with a smile as bright as the stars at the corner of his mouth. He made an expression of sudden realization, looked at Song Momo and nodded.
"That's it. Thank you Song Momo for your advice. I thought I couldn't offend her by talking to me like this several times. It turns out that she is of no rank!"
Jingwei bit the last sentence particularly hard, and Qiu Xin's eyes were full of inexplicable complex meanings.
"Why is she so arrogant to me even though she is without rank and rank? It seems that the emperor is right. I am really too merciful. Song Meima, just teach her a lesson for me.
Mei Fei never thought that Jingwei didn't take her seriously at this time, and deliberately humiliated her in front of her. Her face was red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Jingwei, obviously extremely angry. Oh, I didn’t expect Jingwei to dare to offend her like this!
Lying her body in front of Qiu Xin, Mei Fei's eyes flashed with fire, she looked at Jingwei and threatened.
"Jingwei! If you dare to touch Qiu Xin, I will definitely let you know how powerful you are!"
"Ah." Jingwei's eyes widened, he looked at Mei Fei innocently, his eyes flashed with a bewildered light, and he spoke aggrievedly.
"Sister Mei Fei, is it possible that you can't protect yourself? Although Jingwei doesn't understand the rules in this palace, he also knows that the most important thing in the palace is etiquette. You can never break the rules for a maid!"
Jingwei looked at Mei Fei and became more and more aggressive. How could Concubine Mei have imagined that Jingwei would dare to do this? With a cold snort, his face showed a bit of sternness, and he raised his hand directly, and slapped Jingwei's delicate face with his hand.
The crisp and loud sound was particularly loud in the empty hall. Jingwei stumbled, unable to stand firmly, and fell directly to the cold ground. Mei Mei looked at Concubine Mei innocently. Concubine Mei seemed more and more fierce, and she herself became pitiful.
"Why did my sister hit me?"
Jingwei ignored Song Momo who was trying to help him get up. He touched his red face and his eyes became more and more aggrieved.
"I am a second-grade imperial concubine, so why should I beat you, a seventh-grade concubine Jieyu? What a joke!"
Mei Fei curled her lips and looked unconcerned.
In her opinion, this Jingwei is just a little smart and beautiful. There are so many smart beauties in the palace, but don't they all obey her orders obediently
In the harem, how many people have been favored by the emperor, but in the end a few have a good end. As a result, there are 3,000 beauties, and only a few can become noble concubines. Who can stand to the end? A person with deep background, the person in front of him is just young and beautiful. After a few years, the emperor will get tired of looking at that face. Aren't you still killing yourself? Now she is just in the limelight, but if she really wants to be bullied, she is really not qualified!
Concubine Mei was very confident about this. Although she couldn't move the person in front of her, he could still make her suffer a little.
No one noticed that there was a small thin blade between the fingers of Jingwei's hands. At this time, Jingwei's hands were close to his face, and the blade was also close to Jingwei's face. Zhang's delicate and white face was cut with a shocking bright red.
"Ah, blood, mother-in-law, you, your face!"
A maid's eyes fell on Jingwei's face, and she immediately screamed with fear on her face.
The blood flowed down between the fingers, covering the thin blade in the hands, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it clearly. Jingwei raised his head in panic, looked at the screaming maid, his beautiful eyes became even more panicked, and called softly.
"Lan'er, what did you say?"
Before she finished speaking, she screamed and shouted loudly, as if she felt the unusually hot ** on her face.
"What's wrong with my face? What's wrong with my face? Give me a mirror! Bring me a mirror!"
She was very emotional, shouting hysterically, and her eyes were full of panic, as if she was crazy. Seeing her reaction like this, everyone immediately panicked. Even Mei Fei was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She looked at Jingwei in astonishment and stood blankly, not knowing what to do.
They were all so busy that they didn't notice Jingwei putting the inconspicuous thing in his hand into his handkerchief. For them, they didn't realize this situation at all. Concubine Mei just slapped her, but... actually...
It turned out to be like this.
Everyone was in a mess. Qiu Xin stared at the chaos and stared at the people who were walking back and forth in a chaotic mess. A deep sadness flashed in her eyes, almost almost to the point of death. Unable to stand, he fell to the ground.
It's over, I'm absolutely done. how so? The empress just slapped her, how could she break her face? How can this be
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Qiu Xin felt like there was a terrible monster in her heart, and she had to knock herself down, eat away at her, and tear her apart in order to make up for this catastrophe!
Seeing Jingwei waving his hands like a mad woman, falling to the ground and refusing to get up, he was so frightened that he calmed down.
No, the empress just slapped her, how could her face be broken? She had been following Mei Fei for a long time. She knew how strong Mei Fei's hands were, and there was no way she could break her face! Looking at Jingwei sitting on the ground screaming in panic, a very bold idea flashed through her heart.
Could it be this person
Are you doing this to frame your empress
The more she thought about it, the more Qiu Xin felt it was possible. She looked at Jingwei who was sitting and kneeling on the ground crying, and couldn't help but shudder. Looking at the maid who was about to call the imperial doctor, she felt bad and shouted immediately.
"Stop, no one is allowed to go out without my order!"
After saying that, he hurriedly walked over, grabbed the hem of Concubine Mei's gorgeous clothes, and cried out in a mournful voice.
"My queen, my queen, tell me, what should I do now?"
Mei Fei was frightened and overwhelmed by the sudden situation. When she heard Qiu Xin's cry, her stunned expression immediately recovered and she glanced at the panicked servants. His eyes fell on Jingwei, who had been supporting himself on the ground, and saw that his jade-white face was filled with a shocking red color. There was a thump in my heart, and I secretly thought it was not good. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely hold himself accountable given how favored Jingwei is now!
Mei Fei was very panicked, but after all she had been through a big scene, and she had never seen anything like this. Thinking of her background, even though she was frightened and uneasy, she forced herself to calm down, looked at everyone with her beautiful eyes, and said sternly shouted.
"Shut up, everyone! Just follow my orders!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Although everyone was worried and uneasy, they all looked at Concubine Mei, waiting for Concubine Mei to speak.
Concubine Mei looked at Jingwei, who was sitting and kneeling on the ground as aggrieved as a pear blossom in March, her voice gradually became colder, and she ordered.
"Qiu Xin, go find Dr. Sun and bring him over. Don't disturb anyone."
"Donghua, Pinkie, you guys, lock up Jingwei!"
"How dare you!" After hearing Concubine Mei's instructions, Song Momo immediately stood up and stood in front of Concubine Mei, frowning and shouting sternly.
"Empress Jingwei is Jieyu who was consecrated by the emperor himself. Empress Mei Fei must know how to measure herself!"
These words were like adding fuel to the fire.
Concubine Mei was already very proud and could not tolerate others. She was still a little uneasy at first, but now that she was contradicted by Song Momo, she became angry and was not afraid of anything anymore. She thought to herself, "Today I will let you know who is in this harem." Owner! Immediately shouted loudly.
"Begonia Chunhua, you two lead people to guard the palace gate. No matter who comes today, just say that I am not feeling well, and no one will be seen today!"
"Yes." Several maids responded hurriedly, with panic in their steps. A sharp sound that seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums suddenly sounded in the empty hall.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this very high-pitched voice. He stopped, immediately put down what he was doing, hurriedly knelt down in the direction of the main hall, lowered his head, and whispered in unison.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"I can't believe that if the Queen hadn't come to tell me, I wouldn't have known that my Concubine Mei had such courage and courage!"
A calm male voice came faintly, and everyone could still hear the anger in his tone.
When Concubine Mei heard this familiar voice, her face turned pale and she fell down on the exquisitely carved chaise longue. He even forgot about etiquette. He stared blankly at the person walking in step by step. Only when he looked at the solemn face did he react, hurriedly knelt down, lowered his head, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine's explanation!"
"Is there any explanation? I never knew that Concubine Mei was so arrogant and domineering. It actually made me gain knowledge!"
The emperor snorted coldly and jumped over Mei Fei without even looking at her. His eyes fell on Jingwei, who was still sitting and kneeling on the ground, covering his face, and he immediately walked towards the lost man in two steps. His tone was indescribably gentle.
"Jingwei, are you okay?"
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just that I don't know what happened. I actually annoyed Concubine Mei and made Concubine Mei unhappy."
The crystal light flashed in Jingwei's eyes, and he looked as if he was about to cry, but he was holding back and did not dare to cry. Such a delicate look made everyone's hearts tremble when they saw him.
Concubine Mei's eyes were fixed on the very delicate beauty in the emperor's arms. She clenched her silver teeth and pointed at Jingwei's nose as if trying to endure it. Her gorgeous face was full of anger! He opened his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this woman, I suspect that she has colluded with the bandits who stole the study. Please, Your Majesty, please stop being deceived by this woman!"
Mei Fei knew very well that if Jingwei spoke first and confused the emperor's mind, then everything she said would be useless. She must speak before Jingwei!
"Your Majesty, believe me, I didn't. Sister Mei Fei, she misunderstood, but I didn't!"
Jingwei looked at the emperor with a very frightened look, not caring about the wounds on his face. He tightly grasped the emperor's broad arms with bloody hands, trembling all over, obviously he was greatly frightened!
Concubine Mei looked at Jingwei whose face was stained with blood, and glared fiercely. Looking at the emperor's gloomy eyes, she was shocked and immediately shouted at Jingwei.
"Shut up! What are your intentions? Do you want to murder the emperor? Your Majesty? The more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are. The words of my concubine are definitely not groundless! Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Mei is worthy of being someone who has been with the emperor for many years. Looking at Jingwei, big hats were placed on Jingwei. Wei Qing could easily feel the look in the eyes of the man holding him. , in addition to pity, there is also a bit more suspicion.
We must not let Concubine Mei influence the emperor's mind! Otherwise, all of this will be wasted!
Thinking of this, Wei Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp look. Looking at Concubine Mei. The tone was softer.
This is what Du Suxi taught her. What men like is usually not women who are independent, strong and capable, but a woman who is smart and willing to be a coward by his side. No man likes a woman's strength.
Since Concubine Mei is so strong right now, she can just be that little birdie. Talking about acting skills. After practicing in Moshang Xiangfang for so long, Wei Qing has never been afraid of anyone coming!
"Your Majesty, although Jingwei is from a humble background and doesn't understand the rules in the palace, Jingwei still remembers a saying he once heard, a scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. Today, he is so humiliated by sister Mei Fei, and he is even more unjustly accused of being a concubine. , How can I have the dignity to live in this world? Today, I will die to prove my innocence!"
Having said that, Wei Qing stood up very decisively. Under everyone's shock, he ran into the big pillar that the three of them could barely hold on to by hugging each other.
With a "touch" sound, his forehead hit the pillar, making a muffled sound. Jingwei also slowly fell to the ground.
fell into a warmth
embrace.
The emperor stared blankly at the unconscious Wei Qing, his lips trembling, obviously he did not dare to accept such a scene.
Jingwei actually bumped his head against a pillar in front of him in order to prove his innocence.
How much courage does this require, how much unwillingness does this require? What an injustice this must be!
The only trace of doubt in the emperor's heart was instantly gone as Wei Qing collided with him. Look at the bright red blood coming out of his forehead and the blood on his face. The emperor could no longer control his emotions and shouted angrily.
"Go to the imperial doctor quickly!"
Concubine Mei looked at the emperor nervously. She did not expect that things would end like this. She took a few steps back and looked nervously at the emperor's sullen expression.
She knew in her heart that she was probably in big trouble.
Concubine Mei had been with the emperor for seven years. During these seven years, she did not see each other day and night, but she often slept in the same bed. She had a clear understanding of the emperor's character.
She had rarely seen the emperor's current expression in the past seven years. The last time I saw it was more than a year ago, the Yellow River in the south of the Yangtze River burst its banks, causing countless casualties and thousands of miles of fertile land being submerged. Everything disappeared in the rolling waves, and the treasury suffered heavy losses. The emperor was furious.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would show such an expression because of a woman today.
After seven years of getting along day and night, how could Concubine Mei not know this man? Seeing the anger on the emperor's face, Concubine Mei already knew it in her heart!
After all, he was defeated, defeated by the woman Jingwei.
He failed because he underestimated Jingwei.
She originally thought that today would be a fatal situation, but she didn't expect that Jingwei would be so lonely and brave, even scratching her own face. Even more so at the expense of life!
He was willing to die to prove his innocence, but how could he easily overturn it with words. Any words are very feeble in front of life.
Sure enough, the emperor turned to look at the pale Concubine Mei, who looked even older, but with the infinite majesty of an emperor, looked at Concubine Mei, and said.
"Mei Fei, if something happens to Jingwei today, be prepared to pay for her with your life!"
"Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by that witch's tricks!" Mei Fei gritted her teeth and argued unwillingly.
She really couldn't believe that someone she had never taken seriously could break her own killing scheme so easily! This was beyond belief for her!
She originally planned to use kindness and force on Jingwei, forcing her to admit that the theft in the study room was related to her. She even had some clues of evidence. As long as Jingwei was a little flustered or even half-uncertain in her heart, she would definitely do it. Influenced by myself! This is obviously a fatal situation, how could it suddenly become like this! Mei Fei really couldn't figure it out.
What a terrifying woman I was facing!
But she had no chance. The emperor stared at Concubine Mei, without any friendship in his eyes. I just feel that Mei Fei is just quibbling at this time. He had no interest in listening to her quibbles.
With a cold snort, the emperor opened his mouth and shouted angrily.
"enough!"
Everyone was so frightened by the emperor's loud shout that they dared not speak. They looked at the emperor in fear and looked very uneasy. I was afraid that I would accidentally attract the emperor's attention and bear the emperor's thunderous wrath!
Fortunately, the emperor just stared at Concubine Mei with cold eyes.
"As a noble concubine, you don't know how to live in harmony. Do you think I am blind? You usually bully others in the harem, and I have never blamed you! Now that I think about it, I was wrong! I spoiled you! It will make you behave like this today!"
Concubine Mei has been in the palace for seven years. She has a noble status and is very arrogant. How has she ever been treated like this? With a pale face, Concubine Mei looked at the furious emperor in shock. She wanted to say something, but found that she could not say anything.
The emperor looked at Concubine Mei like this, snorted coldly, and continued to speak.
"Come here, send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Mei, drag everyone here down and interrogate them severely. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as he said that, the emperor no longer cared about Concubine Mei, picked up the unconscious Jingwei, and walked away.
Concubine Mei looked at the emperor's leaving back, and a line of clear tears flowed out from the gorgeous eyebrows, dampening Concubine Mei's carefully painted makeup. For a moment, the colorful face made her look a little old.
"Empress, please take care of your body and don't get angry."
Qiu Xin looked at Concubine Mei who was standing there as if she couldn't bear the blow. She took a breath and supported Concubine Mei. She couldn't help but shed tears. When had their master ever suffered such a big loss? How had their master ever been scolded by the emperor like this
Concubine Mei watched the bright yellow disappear from her sight, and suddenly burst out laughing, kicking Qiu Xin away. Her eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, and her voice was no longer as soft and bright as before. On the contrary, it is a bit harsh.
"Hahaha, take care of yourself! Get out of here!!"
As a person like Concubine Mei, she already knows what will happen if she loses.
Although the emperor just ordered her to be placed under house arrest and said nothing else, how could she not understand that the reason why the emperor did not take action against her was because he was concerned about the strength of her mother's family.
She has a brother who is a general of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom. There has been a strong general in every generation, and she has an adopted son who is worthy of being an outstanding figure. Her power has grown so deep that it is difficult to shake it, even if Jingwei dies.
Jingwei is dead, and to the world, she is just a concubine. It's not that big of a deal. But if the emperor was angry with her because of a concubine, her whole family would be offended. With the development of her natal family over the years, even the emperor could not easily offend her, not to mention that the emperor was approaching his end. There is no ability to control them.
Concubine Mei has always relied on this to suppress many women in the palace, making it difficult for them to get ahead. The emperor also knew more or less about this, and turned a blind eye to it. . Not caring about it made Concubine Mei even more arrogant. However, Mei Fei never expected that she would be defeated by Jingwei.
I didn't expect that woman to have such decisive courage to gamble with herself with her appearance and life that a woman cares about most.
In the past, where has Mei Fei suffered such a big loss? What woman wouldn't be respectful and careful to her? Even someone who is naturally proud and refuses to bow his head would not dare to compete with her for even the slightest bit of edge. How could anyone dare to do this with her
Think of this. Mei Fei couldn't help but show a wry smile and looked into the void. It seemed that he was mumbling to himself, but when those helpless words were spoken, Qiu Xin's expression immediately changed.
"Jingwei, you are really amazing."
